UPDATES

CONGREGATION

• User Access “View only” messages simplified and now state what User Access you need
• Some Congregation Settings have been split into separate data files, e.g. App Settings, Schedule Settings and Territory Settings. Access to these settings is restricted by User Access. This should help prevent these settings from being accidently overwritten by other Elders
• Can no longer import a Congregation from KHS or elsewhere if you currently have an active congregation with Sharing or NW Publisher app enabled. This was causing many problems
• Congregation Sharing logs improved and added many small changes to improve reliability
